Guild Wars 2

So I crafted my Bolt tonight, hoping to use it on my Warrior with Giver’s stats. Much to my disappointment I noticed that we can’t actually choose Giver’s stats for our legendary weapons — and the same goes for some of the other stat combinations, I believe. Is there any particular reason these stat combinations are unavailable on legendary weapons, or would it be possible to update legendary weapons to accomodate Giver’s stats? Some clarity on this would be much appreciated.

Bumping this because I would really like to get a response. Just seems weird to me that these stats are unavailable.

Who knows? It takes time to implement ascended versions of existing stat sets. We’re still missing Giver, Keeper/Zealot, Valkyrie, Dire, Shaman, and Settler stats for Ascended trinkets, while the newly introduced accessories/rings for Assassin, Sentinel, Carrion, Magi, Nomad, and Sinister still aren’t available as options for selectable-stat gear.

There’s a bit of a backlog, they’ll get around to it. At least you can freely change the stats on your legendary, that’s not the case for ascended backpieces with selectable stats (only two chances to pick stats: after creation and infusing).

My expectations… quite reasonable, no?
Makes sense too.

I don’t mean to bump because I know it will get locked, but I noticed I couldn’t put giver’s stats on my legendary focus the other night. The point of me making a legendary was I was tired of carrying around 3-4 versions of the same weapons depending on build.

Well the reason is pretty simple. Legendaries provide ascended stats. Ascended giver’s doesn’t exist. That leads to the very logical conclusion of no giver’s on legendaries.

Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooow…..

Here I thought Legendary items were legendary for having all stats available on demand.

Except for explaining why ascended weapons don’t offer giver’s as an option.

That one is even easier to explain. Being inconsistent is just the way ANet does things.
